My New Growth @ 12 Weeks Post…

Waving a big hello to you
guys. I know I haven’t posted in a little while but I’m working on improving
that. I've also been keeping up with all your blogs.

I’ll be honest my stretch
wasn't going so well when I was 8 weeks post relaxer. The single strand knots were
driving me crazy and I was wondering how I would make it to 16 weeks with this
nightmare.

Air drying my hair loosely
simply wasn't going to cut it anymore so I decided to try flexi-rods and I must
say it made my life a lot easier. My new growth was stretched, the number of
single strand knots was reduced, my hair was loose, and so I didn't have to
worry about any tension from my hair being pulled in any direction.

New Growth @ 12 Week Post Relaxer

Sadly I’m starting to
enjoy this stretch but it’s about to end in two weeks. I’ll be relaxing my hair
at 15 ½ weeks post relaxer. In the
picture above I blow dried my hair on cool using the tension method. Forgive my
crooked part *hides face*, I laid my edges with the Fruit Of The Earth, AloeVera 100% gel and this was how I wore my hair for the week last week.

Mid-week I took down my
hair from the low bun and surprising my hair was still moisturized. I decided
to apply Jamaican Black Castor Oil to my scalp and re-bun my hair for the rest
of the week. This was one of the best wash days I have had in a long time. It looks like i have 1 to 1&1/4 inches of new growth.

How many weeks post
relaxer are you & has your hair being behaving recently?

I love your waves, and how behaved your new growth has been, can't wait to see your relaxer results! I have a hump in the middle of my head that won't be tamed by anything except rollers, not even wrapping! I'm also ending my stretch soon (15 weeks) and I can't wait :-)

I don't know how many weeks post I am. But I know that this castor oil I've been putting on my scalp has my new growth around edges are looking so out of control. My next relaxer isn't until next month and it shouldn't be this unruly right now. I may have to try the tension method you mentioned because I can't imagine how it will look in another month from now, lol.

Those single no strands are the worst! We can definitely see your growth though, good luck on your relaxer day! No matter how many times we do it there's always a little fear behind it but you got this!

Hi Tomi! That's quite a bit of new growth you've got, can't wait to see your relaxer results! I had my last relaxer on the 8th of November and I'll be ending my stretch in three weeks. I'm pretty excited too!
